" IS FOOTBALL LOSING ITS APPEAL AGAIN ? "

I gess a bit I supose,but success brings that.
You know your self in the 80s 90s when we both got crowds of 3k and 4 alltho shit crowds the atmosphere was better as most down ther were real fans,and working class and old men in flat caps, these days its new stadiums and all new rules.
If we had 6 k down the vetch it was bouncing,for a long time most of our support came from within the city and we had a good set of lads who new eachother and so but now alltho big crowds and biger fan base its just not the same,probably the same for you.

Sadly exactly the same for us

The joys of a successful club hey?maybe time to support newport,??

Newport and myself go back as far as 1979, personal.
I was there, organised that day out at yr place, 88 of us exactly .

A fortnight ago i worked on the property of a well to do business man who became a new fan on the back of us reaching the cup final, he loved our shiny new stadium but hated the fact that in this day & age we have'nt got waiter service!FFS it's supposed to be a football match,going to shit holes like Barnet & watching the game through a double fence,Torquay & being crammed into a open end stand about the size of a postage stamp, Hereford & the worst view from a stand possible.Grounds were rubbish but had their own identity, we were rubbish on the pitch but superb off it.There felt a connection with your club & i used to wear the badge on my polo with pride, now i can't be arsed.Football has become more universal & appeals to a wider range of person but for me personally the unique pride of following the City has gone.

I honestly believe there is more loyalty and bonding with yr club when your in the lower divisions
